Abstract :
A current mirror topology is proposed that provides very high precision, design insensitive up and down mirrored current, operation over a wide power supply range, straightforward design, and the possibility of conveniently obtaining a wide range of current divisions. This topology is appropriate for those applications in which precise current handling is necessary such as high accuracy A/D and D/A converters and reference cells
